Notes on Eurostat II

It does appear to have problems w/Firefox

Main access points on home page and sub-pages all by mouseover

Themes:
Key EU policies indicators
General statistics
Economy and finance
Population and social conditions
Industry, trade and services
Agriculture and fisheries
External trade
Transport
Environment and energy
Science and technology.

except for the key EU policys, all themes have further links to Publications, Data and Full View. Data links to just the part of the database with that theme's data. Full View is page that consolidates all types of information available on that theme, regardless of whether the information is in pdf or an interactive database. Publications goes to publications.

Publications: Heavily Used publications include Panorama of the EU, Statistics in Focus and some series, such as Pocketbooks.

Dedicated Sections: For reasons not immediately apparent, the link to the Eurostat Yearbook is under this section and not publications. Users can either download a pdf edition or go to the main Eurostat database (via the "long tem indicators link"). This section also includes euro-indicators, structural indicators, Regions (Regio is Eurostat's harmonised regional statistical database." goes to same data explorer as other links), co-operation (e.g. statistical cooperation), European Business (nothing unique; just business-specific content) and external trade (information about how external trade stats are generated; links to same pubs/dbases).
